Best reef safe dwarf angel (60 gallons)?

Someone forgot to tell my Coral Beauty that they don't nip...

i've had a flame angel for almost 2 years now with only one incidence that involved a beautiful elegance coral becoming the most expensive piece of fish food i've ever bought. i also have a 60 gallon, and while he's no problem with coral he is a *****. really doesn't like the other fish that are in the tank (wrasses most of all). i'm upgrading to a 150 and plan on trying to add a coral beauty or a red stripe. i also think that if you keep them well fed they will leave the corals alone (unless you have my flame and an elegance coral..i'm still kind of bitter). good luck!

I have a coral beauty who I have caught nipping from time to time I think it's just grazing tho.

Our flame angel has never touched the coral that I can see. But, she is best buds with a big yellow tang that keeps her in check. They swim together all day long....

I've always had a flame angel as well. Thought about adding a coral beauty.

The only dwarf angel I have had good luck with was an Eibli Angel. I have tried many others only to be removed due to aggression or coral picking.

Same here ..........

I've had a Flame Angel for three years and it's never picked at corals or zoas. It is more like a Mandarin in that it hunts copepods all day long. It never stops moving and covers the whole tank. It is certainly a loner and doesn't interact with any of the other fish. I've seen it chasing the dominant Blue-Green Chromis a few times, which is twice as large as it is. It sure is a tough little fish. When I first put it in the Powder Blue didn't like it, but it couldn't catch it either. I'm so glad that all my fish get along great.
